England have really struggled to contain their opposition off the last ball of the over in this tournament. 26% of their overs have featured a boundary off the last ball - the highest of any side in the Super 8s.
Shadab Khan manages to find a boundary off Jofra Archer's last ball, knocking a lovely four to deep cover point.
Sam Curran is back with the ball in hand to see out things for England. Let's see if he can get a wicket at the death...

Lovely catch from Sam Curran who is tracking over his shoulder and has to know where the boundary is. He jumps and knows he's got a couple of yards to play with.

Jofra Archer has a second wicket but Sam Curran take a bow - what a catch.
Afridi c Curran b Archer 2 (Pak 149-8)
Sam Curran takes a beautiful catch to dismiss Shaheen Afridi!
Jofra Archer claims his second wicket of the evening with a wonderful back of the length ball which the Afridi can only lift towards the direction of Curran's hands.
It is a very clean take on the deep square leg boundary.

This is England's sixth match of the tournament and I've still no idea if they're any good.

The way Liam Dawson mixes up his pace and lines is so good. England have not been out of this game at any stage but they are brought themselves back into it with quick wickets which has pegged Pakistan back.
Aatif Nawaz
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Liam Dawson has varied his pace and his length perfectly. An outstanding spell. He's been the pick of England's bowlers with 3-24.
What a dramatic over! Shaheen Shah Afridi keeps out a full one from Liam Dawson to deny him a hat-trick and gets a single too.
Still, Dawson runs towards Jos Buttler for a double high-five after another clinical appearance with the ball in hand.
Nawaz lbw Dawson 0 (Pak 146-7)
Liam Dawson is indeed on a hat-trick.
Three reds again and Mohammad Nawaz is on his way back for a golden duck.
Aatif Nawaz
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
This looks very straight from Liam Dawson. I think this is out.
No bat involved.
This could be a timely blow for England and would put Dawson on a hat-trick!
Liam Dawson has Mohammad Nawaz dead in front.
Nawaz reviews in desperation.

Usman Khan looking for a big hit but didn't quite have the power and it's an excellent catch by Jamie Overton.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special
Frustrating for Pakistan who got themselves in a good position but have lost consistent wickets. They had a platform but have not been able to capitalise.
Khan c Overton b Dawson 8 (Pak 146-6)
Excellent bowling from Liam Dawson at the death!
He dispatches Usman Khan for just eight runs. It was a relatively ambitious shot from the man without a helmet, but it finds Jamie Overton at long-on.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special
Liam Dawson is shaking his head and he is absolutely furious. It was a simple catch for Harry Brook at extra cover. England have not been at their best in the field today - so many mistakes.
Pak 144-5
Liam Dawson glares at Harry Brook after his captain spills an easy chance and the ball dribbles away to the boundary for four.
Adil Rashid will be in two minds after that latest set.
He takes the important wicket of Fakhar Zaman but also lets Pakistan rack up another 14 runs through two muscled sixes and a two.

Rash is just a living legend isn't he?
